Does it have brakes? If not, is that a problem for you? It will be used outside where stamina issues prohibit the use of a regular walker.

It has a locking device on each wheel. Mine didn't need to be used, but I was very impressed with the quality for the money and it's light and comfortable and moves easily. I hope it works for you.

It does have brakes that lock on the back wheels, it's good outside; if in soft/spongy grass it doesn't roll well.

Yes it has brakes. We just use it between the car and long hallways to doctor appointments. Meant to be pushed by someone.

My mother has used this outside, but only on pavement or grass. Worked fine on both.She's had this walker for about a year and a half, uses it daily, and it's still like new. Recommend highly.

I don't exactly know, but it's not a lightweight walker that is easily moved into and out of a vehicle. My MIL uses it strictly around the house.

I use it indoors but it could easily go outdoors. The wheels have no traction so it wouldn't be good for rough terrain. It was much smaller than I expected so an upgrade to a big, durable outdoor wagon was needed for us. Great for the price!

It does have brakes, so you can stop easily and safely. I used my knee walker for 9 weeks and never had an issue or accident. I think this product is very safe.

the walker may do well on packed sand but would bog down in the softer sand due to the weight on the wheels by the user. This is an amazing walker, very versatile

I don't know what kind of a walker you are talking about. Mine is just a simple inexpensive fold up walker.

Maybe I'm missing something about no brake lock, but there is a button that will lock the brake. I just received this knee scooter yesterday. There is a small silver button on the brake lever. With the brake applied I pushed the silver button and the brake remained engaged until I squeezed the brake lever a second time. Granted it is not like a walker or stroller brake, but it did keep it from rolling.

Yes! I just used mine last night to walk with the baby downton to the Christmas parade. This stroller is not set up to be a 'jogging stroller' with bike-type wheels for off-road jogging or anything, but as long as there is pavement or relatively smooth grass or dirt surfaces, you are fine. I highly recommend this piece of equipment. We have really loved ours.

it is a very weak front wheel drive powered unit so getting around on any terrain other than concrete is not really an option, but for general use on even pavement and a fairly light person this would work

Yes. its a very good walker. It wont allow babies to get to close to anything they shouldn't be near.

I purchased this this walker for a good friend. One thing that we learned, make sure you get one with 8in wheels. (Our first one only had 6in wheels) As far as making one handle work both brakes, I don't know how it could it could be done, but my friend has a similar problem, and has found that one wheel brake works perfectly.

I live on a gravel road and have used this stroller several times on it. The brake has never engaged on its own. We have been very pleased with this stroller and would recommend.

This is the cheaper one with no wheels, It is an annoyance to move over hard surfaces, I take the weight off and carry it over the drive way. I believe they make a model with wheels.

Yes, just push the hand brake levers down until they click. As a side note the wheels are 5.5 inches, not 6 inches as advertised. No problem, the walker moves quite nicely. Breaks on mine are VERY good., no adjustment required.

Yes the walker rolls well on any surface. I did not encounter any problems when walking.

Here is my experience...the wheels/skids are interchangeable. However that means that you have to purchase a second walker and rob the wheels from one to put on the second. The downside is that there are no hand brakes (as with other wheeled walkers). I was willing to do this and kept the second walker on hand just as a 'spare'. The convenience of the weight and collapsible frame is something my husband can maneuver in and out of the car on his own and it gives him more stability than just using a cane.
